Yes, that's outside. If phpinfo() says: /home/myname/dir/ then these are bad: /home/myname/dir/foo.inc /home/myname/dir/includes/foo.inc /home/myname/dir/as/deep/as/you/want/foo.inc and these are okay: /home/myname/includes/foo.inc /home/myname/includes/as/deep/as/you/want/foo.inc /any/other/random/directory/foo.inc Of course, you now have the challenge of configuring 'include_path' in php.ini to have all the paths you need :-) -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
